Is it self-centered if a lot of people do it, though?
Everyone can be self centered at the same time. Not sure why you think that wouldn’t be possible.
Is voting “a self-centered” action, or a community one?
Depends on the voter.
My point is that it doesn’t matter why they do it. The platform allows it, so it’s fair game.
It hard to see why you expect that the “Admins” would be able to prevent anything they don’t prefer so casually.
It would be nice if the software allowed for many more things but it is limited, development is slow, and prioritizes what they get funding to work on. If you look at the issues list, you’ll see that there are many desired changes, so the current release is not how the developers intend it to function.
admins should have an option to disable voting from people who are (1) browsing All and (2) not subscribed.
I would really like this feature, but it doesn’t exist. If I were an admin a lemmy instance, I would not consider it fair game to downvote a post on a community that you’re not subscribed to. It would be a lot of work to enforce that. Just like there’s a lot of work to reduce SPAM. I wouldn’t call SPAM fair game because the developers haven’t created a perfect SPAM filter (currently, they don’t have one at all). I would consider SPAM self centered even if many people do it.

I guess you’re right.

Well, think harder. They’re admins, not peasants.

That’s a red-herring.

But then, this is a good idea, and I’ll do this.

But then, there would be admins who would be okay with it. As long as the platform allows it, it’s fair game. Unless admins use a workaround, like banning the users who do this - but they’re not doing this either, are they?

You first.
I guess that’s the end of any sort of productive discussion from your end.
Also, you seem to be confused about what a red herring is.
Do enlighten me.
